HAHAHA ;) ..funny but so true....i got licence made from India...never driven there and only reason i wanted one was just coz and if i go back there to visit my family i rather drive than get driven....I got that made for 100 bucks...money works well there man...LOVE IT!!!!

you dont know the shit i went through to get my licence in singapore mate, f**ken $450 (about 380aud), and that's just the testing.

would like to visit india one day.

Its about $2,500 - $3,500 to get your licence in Germany... So i think what we pay and what others pay is relatively mild. Mind you they dont have to repay every 5 years just to "hold" their licence, or i suppose keep it valid. I think that the fee we pay to renew our licence should go toward some form of retest. Does anyone know what that fee is actually for? - (the renewing of the licence) It cant just be a money making scheme???? Can it?? :(

"Administrative costs", it pays for someone to process your shit. But yes like all businesses it's designed to turn over revenue for the organisation, i.e. state government.

i do agree with this idea...

i havn't read all replies but how about it's not required for all drivers but if you sit the re-test say every 2 years, Vicroads pays the bill for the test and you get cheaper rego?

People who don't sit the test pay higher/the same rego to cover cost of tests.

Good drivers are rewarded, lazy/rich/crap drivers foot the bill

Rich drivers - They are one of the worst offenders (cutting in and out of traffic and forgetting to use their indicators grinds my gears), paying the bill is just an excuse for them to drive worse and think they own the roads.

I think everyone must take a re-test every 3 years. With an eye test and basic reaction test.

Everyone gets 3 chances.

1st time pass - You get a discount on your rego and the test is free. If you fail you get a 2nd chance.

2nd chance - If you pass you stll get a discount on your rego but pay an "admin/re-test fee". If you fail you get a 3rd chance.

3rd chance - Go to any registered driving school and learn until you are deemed competent and re-test. You pay full rego and another "admin/re-test fee".

If you keep failing repeat "3rd chance" until you are competent. Then drive around with P plates for 1 year.

Some older drivers are VERY dangerous. I've seen some going 30km/h in an 80 zone, swerving across the lanes, cutting people off and completely oblivious to it all!

funny I've seen some young drivers doing EXACTLY the same thing :-D

I know some 60+ drivers that sheet all over most others.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
